News reached GafTney Wednesday, of the accidental death in Anniston, Alabama, of Cliff Wilkins, 27 years old son of Mr. El T. Wilkins of GafTney. The young man was killed by a train, but the early information gave no details as to how the accident occurred. ? Florence was the first countv to report a birth under the new vital statistics law. A child was born to Mrs. Henry Crawley near Florence, just as the clock was striking twelve on the night of December 31, and a certificate of birth was duly registered by H. M. Ayer, the township registrar early the next morning. ? Robert McKey, a negro, paroled OAvomnr RIpakp last Saturday, is again in the toils of the law. The net gro, who was convicted in Horry 9 county, returned there after his reW lease from the penitentiary. He en" tered a store and stole a quantity of ^ goods and was arrested in Columbia, yesterday. IB ?A full pardon of Anna Drummond, convicted of tlie murder of her husband, and sentenced to life imprisonment, was received by the Spartanburg authorities, Tuesday. The pardoned woman has been dead two years, having died in the Spartanburg county Jail after giving birth to a child. ? Two negroes escaped from the Fairfield jail last Tuesday night, by swinging down from a second story window, and were afterward arrested at White Oak, about eight miles distant. One of the negroes, Long Estes, was charged with murder, and the other, Will Hawsey, with car breaking. Both had to be shot through the arms before they were willing to surrender. ? Governor Blease has declined to pardon Clyde Clement, the youth, who is held in the Spartanburg county jail under a life sentence for murder. S. J. Nicholls has been trying to get the pardon and the governor has written to him as follows: "Dear Sam: Your letter of December 29, has been received. You know I would do almost anything in the world for you. As an individual, there is no favor that you could ask me that I would not grant?even to giving you my shoes and last pair of socks in cold weather. However, I cannot interfere with the Clement sentence. I heard part of the trial and am thoroughly satisfied that the girl is just as guilty as the boy, and I would not like to express my opinion as to what brought about the verdict, but I am satisfied that some people knew what the verdict was going to be before a word of evidence was introduced, and I cannot be a party to what I believe to be an absolute flxed-up scheme to defeat Justice. Individually, I would turn the boy out without even a petition, but as governor, I cannot afford to do so. If the reduction of the sentence to a term of years would be of any benefit to him, i would be glad to take that up and discuss it with you, but I cannot give him a pardon. You know how bad I hate to refuse you, for the fact that no one is closer to me than yourself, and no one knows better my delight in making others happy. With kindest personal regards and best wishes, as ever, your friend. Cole." < ?Governor Blease has withdrawn from the prosecution of the criminal libel case instituted against James H. Moore of the Columbia Record, in the following letter, dated January 7, and addressed to Hon. Wade Hamp? ton Cobb, solicitor of the Fifth judicial circuit: "I am informed that it is your desire to hand out a bill of k indictment at this term of your court of general sessions against James H. Moore, editor of the Columbia Record, for criminal libeL The affidavit upon /| which the warrant was issued, having been made by my former stenographm* \ er, now my private secretary, Mr. W. A ^ F. Blackburn; I have advised Mr. Blackburn that inasmuch as I shall retire from the office of governor within a few days, I desire, if possible, to let the past be the past, and to retire to private life and re-commence the practice of my profession, the law, in the city of Columbia, the capital of my state, and. as a private ciuzen, 10 enueuvur iu iuigci mc bitterness and calumny of the past, hoping that I will be allowed to go on and attend to my private affairs in my own way, as I will allow others to do. I desire, if possible, to forgive all of the sins that have been committed against me; aM of the contemptible falsehoods that have been published against me, and. if possible, 1 desire to forget them For this reason, I have advised Mr. Blackburn, the prosecutor, to ask you to enter a nolle prosequi in this case?thus personally L exercising in this instance the same 1 power of forgiveness that I have exf ercised throughout my career as chief executive of the great state of South Carolina, in order that when 1 retire to private life, I may at least forgive if I am unable to forget. With kindest personal regards to yourself, I am, very respectfully, etc." ? Columbia, January 6: A major part of the tint day of the session of the general assembly, which convenes on January 12, will be occupied by the election of executive officers for the senate and house. The two houses will meet at 12 o'clock. The senate will be called to order by the retiring lieutenant governor, Charles A. Smith, and elections will be held immediately for the clerk, reading clerk, chaplain and sergeant-st-arms for both houses. The present clerk of the senate, M. M. Mann, of St. Matthews, is the only avowed candidate for that position. It is unlikely that he will have opposition. Mr. Mann has been clerk for eight yean. The Rev. J. L. Stokes of Edgefield, will have no opposition for the office of reading clerk of the senate J. p. Schumpert of Newberry, is the only announced candidate so far for the office of sergeant-at-arms of the senate No opposition has yet developed to the Rev. C. A. Freed, who is a candidate to succeed himself as chaplain of the senate. The house will be called to order at noon by the retiring clerk, James A. Hoyt of Columbia. A temporary chairman will then be elected, after which the house will go into the election of a speaker. James A. Hoyt, for the past few years clerk of that body, is the only candidate thus far announced for the position of speaker, and it appears that he will be elected unanimously. After the speaker has taken the oath of office, an election for clerk will be entered Into. There are six candidates announced for this position. They are: J. W. Hamel of Kershaw; C. A. .Mays of Greenwood. H. C. Booker of Spartanburg. J. Wilson Gibbes of Columbia, E. O. DePass of Columbia, and J. Rutledge MtGhee of Batesburg. There being so many candidates for this position. it is likely that the house will spend sorm time in electing a clerk. A reading clerk will next be elected. There are two candidates so far for this position?the incumbent S. AlcC. Simkins of Edgefield, and A. E. Hutchinson of Rbek Hill. For the office of sergeant-at-arms of the house there are several candidates, including the incumbent. J. S. Wilson of Lancaster. Mr. Nelson of Greenville E. 1'. 11cCravey of Pickens. Mr. Huff of Chester. and others. No opposition has developed in the race for chaplain of the house to the incumbent, the Rev. J. P. Knox of Columbia. AT THE CHURCHES. FIRST BAPTIST Rev. Jas. H.

The Liver Regulates the Body A Sluggish Liver Needs Care Someone has said that people with Chronic Liver Complaint should be shut up away from humanity, for they are pessimists and see through a "glass darkly." Why? Because mental states depend upon physical states. Biliousness, Headaches, Dizziness and Constipation disappear after using Dr. King's New Life Pills. 25c at your Druggist. 3 Card of Thanks. I desire my friends and customers to be assuretl that notwithstanding the remarkably unfortunate conditions which compelled me to turn my esiaie pver to the bankruptcy court, I appreciate the patronage and good will of ill as heretofore manifested, and my cnlv regret is that I could not have been permitted to work out the rather ?mbarrassing problem with which I was confronted through my own efforts. I am sure that there would bave been no trouble except for the fearful business stringency brought on is the result of the depression In the price of cotton by the war, and knowing my customers as well as I do, I lm sure that if we could have been illowed to work it out together, there would have been no financial loss or hardship, either to my debtors, my creditors or myself. Respectfully, it A. M. McGill. Colds Are Often Most Serious Stop Possible Complications The disregard of a Cold has often brought many a regret. The fact of Sneezing, Coughing or a Fever should ce warning enough that your system leeds immediate attention. Certainly Loss of Sleep is most serious. It is a warning given by nature. It is man's luty to himself to assist by doing his part. Dr. King's New Discovery is cased on a scientific analysis of Colds. 50c at your Druggist. Buy a bottle :oday. 3 ^OirrTT A w v.

STROUP THE EVERYTHING STORE. Three In One? Absolute Security! Most Liberal Policy ContractI Lowest Possible Cost! In the face of existing world-wide financial conditions, the Mutual Benefit Life-Insurance Company announces its third substantial Increase in dividends on premium paying policies in force on January 1, 1915, of about 20 per cent over the scale effective up to December 3, 1914. In calling attention to the facts that the dividend scale was materially increased in 1910 and again in 1912, and that two special dividends were paid out in 1913 and 1914, respectively, the management modestly announces 'To our knowledge the record is one which has not been equalled by any other life insurance company." As an illustration of the increase, we will take the case of a man 45 years of age, who took out a J2.000 policy in 1914. The agent very likely told him that according to the scale then effective, he might expect a reduction of 39.14 in the premium in 1915, but in reality the reduction will be 312.24. A proportionate increase applies to all other ages and all kinds of policies except term. The foregoing information is given especially for the benefit of the hundreds of Mutual Benefit policy holders in York county. who have learned by experience of the goodness and liberality of this company.
